AD FILIUM
The day you did not come God set
A broken rainbow in the sky,
A promise for her whose eyes were wet
For the lost hope, the joy put by.
A broken rainbow in the sky,
A promise for her whose eyes were wet
For the lost hope, the joy put by.
That never the flood should overwhelm
His children but He gives an ark
That His own hand is at the helm
That His own face is in the dark.
His children but He gives an ark
That His own hand is at the helm
That His own face is in the dark.
That never a dearest hope is lost,
But a new hope is born again;
That life stirs in the winter frost.
And a clear shining after rain.
But a new hope is born again;
That life stirs in the winter frost.
And a clear shining after rain.
The day you did not come there grew
A lunette into Heaven that gave
The pledge of you, the promise of you,
How should your mother not be brave?
A lunette into Heaven that gave
The pledge of you, the promise of you,
How should your mother not be brave?
